Netflix confirmed on Thursday that Single’s Inferno will return for a fifth season, following the immense success of its first four.
The dating reality show, set on a remote island called Inferno, challenges singles to couple up to leave. Each season has ranked in the global Top 10, and the series has experienced four consecutive seasons of success.

It broke records with the highest first-week viewership of any season, securing a spot in the global Top 10 and generating significant buzz across social media. Each episode sparked conversations online, further solidifying the show as a cultural phenomenon.
The brutally honest and magnetic singles are at the heart of Single’s Inferno, which has redefined the dating reality TV format. They’ve consistently captured viewers’ attention, sparking romantic fantasies and becoming the talk of the town with every season. From unpredictable plot twists to jaw-dropping drama that could rival the biggest blockbusters, the show continues to evolve, keeping audiences hooked from start to finish.
The unfiltered commentary and undeniable chemistry between hosts Hong Jin Kyung, Lee Da Hee, Kyuhyun, Hanhae, and Dex remain key elements of the show’s charm. Fans are already excited about what new, tantalizing stories will unfold in Season 5’s sweet yet fiery paradise.
